Customised SBC's Monitors and TRIK's
This level of support enables Trident to customise a large range of monitor and SBC products to meet your exacting requirements.
SBC CUSTOMISATION
This includes the removal of unwanted connectors, the installation of custom BIOS and splash screens as well as the ability to add memory and compact flash technologies. The design of custom daughter boards can be adapted to bring out extra I/O or features and Trident also has the capability to clone hard disk drives or compact flash cards. A full kit or system test is available in-house before the product is shipped.
Trident is able to provide technical assistance to customers building Windows® CE and XP Embedded images.
SYSTEM-ON-MODULE
SOMs (System-On-Module) are component-like system boards with complete PC functionality that plug onto application specific baseboards through high-density, low profile, surfacemount connectors. The surface-mount connectors carry both ISA and PCI bus signals as well as dedicated I/O interfaces.
A wide selection of CPU processors offers flexibility and scalability. SOM core modules are interchangeable as long as they provide the same features. They work like a highly integrated chip, inter facing directly to any form factor system board containing application specific logic and I/O connectors. For example, customers can easily upgrade a system by replacing the system module with one that has a faster CPU.
• Small footprint with full PC integration
• Save 60% on time and cost
• Reduces development risk
• Flexible and scalable performance
• Custom functions on separate carrier board
• Rapid Baseboard prototyping services
Optical bonding is the process of affixing anti-reflective glass or touchscreens to the LCD cell. Silicone gel or other adhesive, such a urethane, is inserted between the cover glass and LCD to completely fill the air gap. The assembly is cured in a process that affixes the panels together while solidifying the gel. Benefits of optical bonding over standard touchscreen bonding include:
Reducing Reflection - Optical bonding eliminates the internal reflection between the LCD and the cover glass or touchscreen because the bonding process creates a single index of refraction. Reducing internally reflected light loss increases display contrast and viewability.
Increasing Contrast Ratio - Improved display contrast enables displays to be more readily seen in bright ambient conditions, without increasing backlight brightness and the associated unwanted higher power and higher operating temperatures.
Extra Durability - LCDs have plastic surfaces that are not vandal or weatherproof. To protect your display investment most LCD installations require a cover glass or polycarbonate lens to protect the LCD.
Preventing Condensation - the gap between the protective glass and LCD keeps out dust and moisture.
OPTICAL FILTERS
Optical filters are used to enhance the readability of all types of electronic displays by controlling light transmission, reflection and absorption. The filters can also provide protection of the display from abrasion and damage from impact thereby extending the life of the display.
Optical filters can incorporate:
• Anti-reflection coatings to maximise transmission
• Anti-glare finishes
• Tinted or neutral density substrates / interlayers to improve contrast
• Transparent conductive coatings for static dissipation or electromagnetic shielding
• Circular polarisers to enhance contrast
• Transparent conductive coatings or wire heating filters for de-misting or de-icing
• Infrared coatings to eliminate solar gain
• Louvered filters for privacy viewing
• Thermally tempered of chemically strengthened glass for enhanced impact resistance
